Abstract
This account reports the glycosylation reactions of glycosyl trichloroacetimidates
and various alcohols using several organophotoacids as activators under photo-irradiation
conditions. The reactions proceed smoothly to give the corresponding glycosides in
high yields. The organophotoacids can be recovered and reused many times without any
loss of efficiency, which demonstrates their environmentally benign features.
